January’s Best Bite: Kaya’s Tropical Paella

The Tropical Paella at Kaya is a flavorful, satisfying meal that that blends a variety of fresh seafood, meats, and vegetables into a single, unforgettable dish. With a generous helping of tender chicken, spicy chorizo, juicy shrimp, delicate bay scallops, and plump mussels, complemented by sweet red peppers, garden-fresh peas, and bursts of pineapple, this dish strikes a perfect balance between hearty comfort and the bright, bold flavors of the tropics. All of this goodness is nestled on a bed of fragrant saffron rice, enriched with sofrito and garlic for a warm, filling finish.

What sets this dish apart is its dynamic flavor profile—a harmony of savory, sweet, and a touch of heat that delivers just the right kick to wake up your tastebuds on a chilly winter day. The spice is invigorating without being overpowering, making it an excellent way to shake off the post-holiday blues. 

As many of us seek something refreshingly different after the indulgence of holiday meals, this unique combination of flavors and spice is sure to warm up your winter. It’s a culinary escape to the islands right here in the city.
